COLUMBIA, S. C.
Friday Morning, May 14, 1808.
Tho following analysis of the ' causes
which havo led to the present low prico of
gold is from the Now York Evening Post.
They aro comprehensive, and no doubt cor?
rect:
1. The depreciation of the currency is
measured by the average inflation of prices,
and not by the price of gold;
2. The price of gold is, and has for seve?
ral years boon, artificially depressed by a
variety of local cause?;' tho whole financial
policy of tho Government, the large reve?
nues which strengthen its credit, and the
disuse of gold as onrrency lessening the de?
mand for it, boing the principal ones.
3.. Those causes, which under tho com?
mon laws of trade would have been defeated
by tho export of coin, have been sustained
and aided by the export of United States
bonds, in payment of international ba?
lances.
4. Gold being depressed far below the
general level of prices, the products of
foreign lands find their best market in this
country, and imports are stimulated to ex?
cess.
How easy to lift tho load of this depres?
sion in case of a foreign war! Then the
scale turns downward on the other side.
Bonds go dawn and gold goes up-promises
to pay,of all kinds must suffer a deprecia?
tion and thon a panic, everybody gets
s jared, and then a chance for repudiation.
There is no help for all this, tho Washing?
ton Star thinks, but peace and long bonds,
and a lower rate of interest. Take away
part of the load of tariff and equalize taxa?
tion-theso aro the tenets of good faith,
these tho remedies against repudiation.
Gold has become merely a theimometer of
finance; in the fictitious price of it, we see
tho artificial and unequal system of our
financial management. War is an imaginary
political remedy-not a saving grace to the
monstrous profligacy which hos attended
the expense of revolution. It will provo
no remedy for a condition of things whereof
the public, perhaps, is bnt poorly informed.
Thero may bo a dear day of reokoning yet
in storo for us. The analysis given by the
Post is worth attentive study. Gold ave?
raged on Saturday in Now York 137 V?.

GRANT ANO OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS.
The New York Herald points out to tho Pre?
sident that the opportunity presented him
by the present aspect of things for the ex?
tension of the boundaries of the nation, and
its material power throughout the world, are
without precedent in American history, and
without comparison in the records of the
human race. That he has the opportunity
of making his Government the arbiter of
the American continent, and the advan?
tages, throutrh China and Japan, of secur?
ing the balance of power in Asia. It says
Cuba, Mexico, and tLje Alabama claims,
cover the three great foreign questions, on
the settlement of which this commanding
position may bo secured for the United
States. It wants Cuba, St. Domingo, Mexi?
co, Central America and tho New Dominior
annexed to tho United States, and says:
"General Grant, as a Western man, w(
doubt not, is a believer in this whole pro
gramme of expansion, North and South,
He is, too, a man of war; but as Presidem
of tho United States, it is manifest that hil
paramount, desire ia peaco, at home am'
abroad. Our only apprehension concern
ing his foreign policy is that his desire tc
avoid wur may so entangle him in diploma
tic cobwebs and red tape as to render bin
powerless to do anything iu giving a satis
factory shape and direction to the Cuban oi
the Mexican question; or the Alabami
claims. Upon all these questions, more
over, the powerful interest of bondholder:
will be apt to prove a drag upon the admi
nistration. We rely, however, upon thc
progressive ideas, sagacity and moral cou
rage of General Grant, sustained by tin
gonoral drift of public opinion, io our ex
peotations of a foreign policy which offer
not only the continent for our occupation
but its boundless resources from which ti
meet our national debt."

THE UNITED STATES COURT-HOK. GEO.
8. BBYAN, PBKSIDTNQ. -The caso of Hamp?
ton vs. Tronholm, Fraser & Co., the trial of
wbich has for soma, days been pending in
this Court, was yesterday brought to a
close. The defendants purchased during
the Vf ar a plantation and a largo number of
negro slaves, valued at $300,000. For this
they paid $150,000 Iii Confederate currency,
and executed their bond, secured by a mort?
gage of the property purchased for tho re?
mainder of the purchase money, payable
after tbe war. Suit was brought upon the
bond, and tho defendants, among other
things, claimed:
1st. That under the Ordinance of the
Convention of 1865 thoy were entitled to
show tho truo nature and value of the con?
sideration.
2d. That the contract for tho purchase of
the slaves was made after Lincoln's emanci?
pation proclamation, and, therefore, tho
sale in this respect was without considera?
tion. That in law the plaintiff had at that
time no valid title, und had, therefore,
nothing to sell, and the defendant nothiug
to buy.
3d. That so fur as tho land was con
corned, all that could be recovered was the
value in Treasury notes, in proportion to
the unpaid portion of its purchase in Con?
federate currency.
These points were contested by the plain?
tiff, who contended that the contract was a
valid one, and that being payable after the
war, it was payable ?u lawful money of the
United States.
The case was elaborately argued by
Messrs. Wm. H. Bachman and Theo. G.
Barker for the plaintiffs, aud Messrs. A. G.
Magrath and C. G. Meinmingor for tho de?
fendants.
Judge Bryan, os wo understand, charged
the jury in favor of tho positions taken by
the defendants. He held Lincoln's pro?
clamation of emancipation to havo been
valid and conclusive, aud us divesting from
that date all title in slaves.
Tho jury retired, ond returned with a ver?
dict for the plaintiff of $168,970.

"Oar doubts are traitors, and make us
lose the good we oft might win, by fearing
to attempt." Shakspeare, that great and
noble master ia English literature, who held
tho mirror up to Nature
Reflects the wisdom we might use,
If ignorance blum, did noe abuse,
How oft do traitorous doubts arise,
To mar man's noblest enterprise.
The good we loso we oft might wiu,
But for tho lurking fears therein;
Attempt the end, and never stand to doubt,
Nothing so hard, but search will find it out.
Hence, let no doubts prevent you from
trying that inimitable medicine, 'HEINITSH'S
QUEEN'S DELIGHT;' lose not tho good you
might seenro, by fearmg to nttempt a cure
with Heinitsh's QUEEN'S DELIGHT.
It has been well said, that the saddest of
words is continued ia these, "it might huve
been." For many with ruined constitutions
and blighted health, and wasted frames, and
sunken features, sicklied o'er with the pale
and haggard cast of disease, look back with
regret nt not trying Heinitsh's QUEEN'S DE?
LIGHT, and reflect how different it might
have been. M7

NEW BOOKS.-Messrs. Duffie ?fe Chapman
have presented us with copies of two new
books, which they have just received from
tho publishing house of Messrs. D. Apple?
ton A: Co., New York: "Not Wisely, but too
Well;" a novel, hythe author of "Cometh
up like a Flower," etc. The narrative is
bright, lively and sketchy, and the plot
skillfull; carried out. Tho second belongs
to the "Library of Choice Readiug." en?
titled "The Mau who Laughs," being part
first ot "Sea and Night," by that quaint
French author, Victor Hugo. The trans?
lator, in his preface, says:
"There has been so much discussion as
to tho propor rendering of tho original
title of this work, 'L'Homme Que Rit,'
that it may be advisable to state why 'The
Mau who Laughs' has been adopted. It is
not ot.'ly literal iu version, it expresses at
the same time the author's meaning as
nearly a the genius of the English tongue
allows, yiud Victor Hugo intended to con?
vey tho idea of 'The Laughing Mau,' or, in
fact, of a voluntary laughter, he would
have called his book 'Le Ri?ur,' or
'L'Homme Rieur,' just as in his own lan?
guage the laughing hyena is called Vhyene
rieuse, end not Vhyene qui rit. 'The Laugh?
ing Man' cannot be correctly rendered into
French by VHomme qui rit; l'homme qui rit
is 'The Mau who Laughs,' and nothing
else."
The pri'ie of the first volume is sixty
cents, anc. of the second fifty cents. Thcso
books ave beautifully printed, and their
neat Btyle will attract universal admiration.
Wo have also received from the same
firm the monthly (and first) part of Apple?
ton's Journal-an illustrated weekly of a su?
perior order, both as regards typography
and general make up. It is of convenient
style for binding. Fifty cents can bo profit?
ably iuvested in the purchase of one of
them.
